Biology Cells: Parts & Characteristics

In this lesson, our instructor Bryan Cardella gives an introduction on cell parts and cell characteristics. He starts by explaining microscopes, the cell theory, the characteristics of life, prokaryote and eukaryote. He then goes on to explain the different cell parts.

I think that thIs might be considered a chemistry question, but approximately how many atoms are in a cell?

How do vacuoles obtain food or water, is this from lysosomes? In addition, does the mitochondria accumulate food from this area before it makes ATP?

In the nucleus, you mentioned that there was a double membrane. Does this mean that the nucleus has two sets of bilayers? For instance, polar head, fatty acid tail, polar head (for first one) then polar head, fatty acid tail, polar head (for second one)? Thank you!
